Outside the Tiankeng, Nii Ni and others were guarding outside. Caesar wanted to go up the mountain several times, but was stopped by others, and just walked around restlessly.
They didn't hear any sound, but they could feel a little vibration, which was strange.
Several people also wanted to go down to see the situation, but before that, the leader had spoken and waited for the whistle to notify.
They haven't heard the whistle of the leader until now, so naturally they can't act rashly.
The sun is already skewed.
"What should I do?" Ni Nii looked at Tuo next to him.
Tuo shook his head.
As time passed, everyone became more and more uneasy.
"Hey, someone's coming up!!" the person standing at the very edge of the Tiankeng shouted.
"It's the leader of the tower!"
"And Wei and them!"
He had been waiting outside the Tiankeng for people to immediately surround him.
Ta and Wei found a place to put the seriously injured two people down, and let them take them down the mountain to cook some medicine and drink. They also needed a place without poisonous miasma to take a good rest, which would help recovery.
"Wei, you stay here first, I'll go down and have a look." After a pause, the tower said to the others: "Back away, don't get too close to this pit, and don't go down."
After a short confrontation, Ta also knew the gap between them and the leader bat. That is not an ordinary beast, even if the two advance teams are all in battle, they may not be able to injure the leader bat much, but they may all be wiped out.
Inside the pit.
Shao Xuan is still urging the power in his body to release the energy of the fire crystal in his hand.
Fortunately, Shao Xuan is not too tired because he has been absorbing the energy of Huojing, but everyone's absorption of Huojing also has a saturation.
Just like the warriors who went to the fire pool to absorb the fire crystal energy, the improvement is limited, and it is impossible to directly upgrade from a junior totem warrior who has just awakened to an advanced level. If you are too greedy and you are too greedy, you may die because you can't control the totem power in your body before you can improve.
Therefore, after feeling the limit, Shao Xuan stopped absorbing it, and when his body was tired, it would not be too late.
The big guy in front of him, from the beginning to the present, is still absorbing the traces of red energy lines released from the fire crystal. If Ao could see those energy lines, he would be extremely shocked.
A vicious beast can actually absorb the energy of fire crystals! It's just that they never knew.
The light cast from above was getting darker and darker, and a lot of light was blocked by the dense poisonous miasma. Now it is even worse. If you wait any longer, Ao doesn't know what will happen. They don't like the dark night, it will make them more uneasy .
Looking at the person and the bat who were still motionless over there, Ao cautiously moved his steps towards Shao Xuan.
When Ao was only two steps away from Shao Xuan, the leader bat suddenly looked at Ao, and the wings on one side moved but did not spread, more like a warning.
A drop of cold sweat fell from Ao's forehead, even breathing carefully. He could feel the black mist with a little warmth coming out of the big bat's mouth and nostrils.
With the other hand of Shao Xuan, with his back facing the bat, he gestured towards Ao, signaling Ao to rest assured and not to approach.
Looking at the wing claw that the leader bat had just moved twice, Ao decided to retreat one after another, otherwise he would anger this guy, and Shao Xuan and him, as well as several others around, could not escape.
Just as he was about to step back, Ao's gaze couldn't help but swept to Shao Xuan's arm, which was stretched out to the leader bat, to see what Shao Xuan was holding in his hand.
The light was very dim. Because Ao was closer now and his eyesight was good, even if he couldn't see the color of what Shao Xuan was holding, he could roughly judge what it was.
Fire crystal? !
Taking a closer look, the color of the fire crystal has become a lot lighter.
The color of the fire crystal will become lighter in only one case!
Ao has seen Huojing lighten slowly inside the fire pond many times, but now, this is the first time in Ao's life that outside the fire pond, the color of Huojing has become lighter!
What the hell did this kid do? It can release the energy of fire crystal!
No wonder Wu had such an attitude towards Shao Xuan!
Ao suppressed the shock in his heart and thought for a while, his eyes fixed on the leader bat, and his feet stepped back.
Taking two steps back, when he stepped on something, Ao used his toes to poke the layer of soft soil above the ground, and saw a fire crystal about the size of the one he had just picked up.
The previous piece, because of the sudden appearance of the leader bat, fell, and I don't know where it fell. I didn't expect to be able to pick up another piece now!
Ao lifted the fire crystal with his toes, and the spar on the ground was lifted.
Just as he was about to catch the provoked Huojing with his hands, Ao suddenly felt a strong suffocating aura coming towards his face.
The black shadow pierced through the poisonous miasma, and silently, it had arrived silently. If it weren't for Ao's rich experience and intuition, if he were standing here, he would probably die without knowing how he died.
In the previous fight, Ao didn't dare to take it hard. He exerted force under his feet in an instant, and the soft soil was shaken up, and Ao used the strength under his feet to dodge this huge blade-like attack sideways.
Ao was evaded with a single blow, but before Ao landed, the sharp wing claws had already grabbed it from top to bottom, almost nailing Ao there in the next moment.
quick!
too fast!
The spear that Ao used to have been scrapped, and at this moment he could only pull out the stone knife he was carrying and raise it to block the claw. He knew that this leader bat could easily abolish his spear and Guihe's knife. He might not be able to withstand the next blow, but he had to bear it if he couldn't.
Ao also knew that the moment his feet touched the ground, the wing claws would be directly nailed to the knife, and even forcefully pressed over the stone knife and nailed to him. Only, there is no going back.
When the wing claw was nailed down, one arm was raised and blocked between the wing claw and Ao.
And the wing claw, which was about to be nailed almost the next moment with a fierce offensive, suddenly stopped as if the pause button was pressed.
Ao landed on both feet, but did not run away. He still maintained the posture of raising the knife, but looked at Shao Xuan who was standing in front of him.
And the leader bat, after a pause for a few seconds, withdrew its claws.
As for the piece of fire crystal that Ao found just now, before he grabbed his hand, the wing that was swept by the leader bat was blown away, and he didn't know where it went.
In fact, Shao Xuan didn't have the confidence to stop this suddenly crazy leader bat, but he couldn't watch it go mad at Ao, he could only give it a try.
Really useful.
This leader bat really cares about Huojing very much.
There are many fire crystals here, and the ones that can be dug out have no signs of being absorbed. There is only one reason for this - it cannot absorb the energy in the fire crystal!
It can sense where the fire crystal is, and the sinking of the sinkhole is also its masterpiece. In other words, the fire crystals on the ground were most likely dug up by the bat leader himself.
It dug out some fire crystals, but couldn't get the fire crystal energy. Shao Xuan speculated that it should have swallowed the fire crystals like it sucked its prey. However, fire crystals are fire crystals after all. Even the fierce beast that is marching toward the king beast cannot digest it.
How to eat in, how to pull out.
On the ground in the Tiankeng, there is a layer of rotten and metamorphic things. Among them, many substances that look like mud are actually piled up from the feces of the leader bat.
The fire crystal under Ao's feet was pulled out by the leader bat. Those soft "dirt" are actually its shit.
Ao, who had just escaped the catastrophe, had not yet subsided. Hearing the movement on the grass vine and seeing the tower coming down from above, Ao waved his hand and signaled them not to come. If this leader is attracted again The bat was furious, and Shao Xuan might not be able to block the leader bat again.
Ao has roughly guessed what Shao Xuan is doing, but the limited knowledge he possesses makes him unable to believe it. Even so, he does not want more people to know this special secret of Shao Xuan. Wu must have known about Shao Xuan's speciality, but he never said it. Naturally, he had his own considerations.
Another three hours passed, and the night outside had gradually deepened. Not much of the moonlight outside could reach the bottom of the tiankeng, and almost all of it was blocked by the poisonous miasma.
click!
A slight sound came from Shao Xuan's hand.
The fire crystal, which the sharp blade polished by the finest stone could not chop, cracked.
This also means that the energy in this fire crystal is almost consumed.
Shao Xuan flipped his wrist and let the fragments in his hand fall, and told the leader bat in front of him that this one had been absorbed. At the same time, Shao Xuan also thought in his heart: Don't pull out another one from the shit and let Lao Tzu continue.
The leader bat used his wings to poke the inconspicuous fire crystal fragments on the ground. He didn't know what he was thinking. After watching for a while, he stretched his wings, flew up, and disappeared in the blink of an eye from Shao Xuan and others. before.
When the leader bat left, Shao Xuan felt that the air here seemed to be fresher, and the extremely dangerous pressure from the leader bat was much less.
"It's gone," said the tower, coming over. Holding a fire crystal in his hand, he handed it to Ao: "I just picked it up from there..."
I wanted to take credit with my father, but before Ta had finished speaking, Ao grabbed the fire crystal from Ta's hand and threw it away.
tower:"… "
"Huojing here, let's not think about it." Ao said.
"Why?!" The tower was anxious, it was all pieces of fire crystal!
"That leader bat knows what to do, and won't let us take any piece from here, otherwise... I'm worried that it will chase and kill it."
If it's just a more powerful beast, even if it can't be defeated, Ao will take the risk of poaching all the fire crystals here, but this one is developing in the direction of the king beast, and it can already be regarded as a half-king, otherwise it will not be Beat them to the point where they were powerless to fight back.
If you are chased and killed by such a guy... It is not an exaggeration to say that it will be a disaster. Ao dared not take the risk.
Many beasts in the forest are much smarter than people expected.
"I agree with the leader." Shao Xuan moved his sore arm and said, "Every piece of fire crystal here has the smell of that leader's blessing, and even if we take it back to the tribe, it will be tracked. "
Tower was silent. He understands the truth, but he is unwilling.
beat? Can't beat it.
steal? Can't steal.
So many fire crystals are almost at your fingertips, but you can't take them.
Suffocated!
